Chili

1-pound extra lean ground beef
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 onions, chopped
2 red peppers, chopped
7 cloves garlic, sliced (approx. 1 head of garlic)
4-5 Tablespoons chilli powder (for a mild or kid-friendly version try 3 Tbsp)
2 – 14oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 – 14oz cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
*Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Directions:
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add ground beef. Season beef with salt and pepper. Cook beef until no longer pink and cooked through. Remove beef with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain excess beef fat. To the pot add 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add chopped onion, peppers, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 10 minutes. Add ground beef and chilli powder, stir well. Next add tomatoes with juices, and beans. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 1 hour. Serve with crusty bread and top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese.
Enjoy!
